Motorized Satellite Dish Kits

Information about FTA satellite dish motors:

FTA dish motor allows the user to gain access to hundreds of free TV stations by turning your offset satellite dish antenna from one satellite to another and to lock to multiple satellite signals. Above are different packages we offer that will work with most any satellite receiver that is DiSEqC1.2 compatible. 

The packages above are designed with your need in mind.  If you don't know which package to choose, here is some more information that will help you make up your mind:

How to choose the correct Motorized FTA Dish Kit:

FTA Motorized Satellite Dish - Kit #3

If you are trying to get signal from a Ku band DSS Circular & FSS Linear satellites for FTA and have a DiSEqC1.2 compatible or USALS compatible FTA Ku band receiver, then go with Motorized Dish Kit #3.  This package will allow the reception of both linear and circular signals broadcasting from almost any Free To Air FTA satellite.  Click Here Channel List

 

Motorized Satellite Dish - Kit #4

If you only want to be able to receive standard Ku band signal from almost any FTA satellite and have a DiSEqC1.2 compatible or USALS compatible FTA receiver, then you need the Motorized FTA Dish Kit #4.  This package allows reception of only FSS linear Ku band satellite signal broadcasting from almost any FTA Ku band satellite.  Click Here for Channel List

 

FTA Motorized Dish - Kit #5

This package is just like the FTA Motorized Dish Kit #4 above, but includes a 1.2m / 120cm offset dish antenna rather than a 76cm / .76m offset dish.  If you only want to be able to receive standard Ku band signal from almost any FTA satellite and have a DiSEqC1.2 compatible or USALS compatible FTA receiver and live in a fringe area or want to point to a low powered satellite, then you need the Motorized FTA Dish Kit #5.  This package allows reception of only FSS linear Ku band satellite signal broadcasting from almost any FTA Ku band satellite.  Click Here for Channel List

 

Ku Band Motorized Dish - Kit #6

This package is just like the FTA Motorized Dish kit #3 above, but includes a 120cm / 1.2m offset dish antenna rather than a 75cm / .75m offset dish.  If you are trying to get signal from a Ku band DSS Circular & FSS Linear satellites for FTA and have a DiSEqC1.2 compatible or USALS compatible FTA Ku band receiver, and live in a fringe area or if you want to get signal from a low powered satellite, then go with FTA Motorized Dish Kit #6.  This package will allow the reception of both linear and circular signals broadcasting from almost any Free To Air FTA satellite.  Click Here Channel List

 

Motorized FTA Dish - Kit #7

This package is just like the FTA Motorized Dish kit #3 above, but includes a 90cm / .9 meter offset dish antenna rather than a 75cm / .75m offset dish.  If you are trying to get signal from a Ku band DSS Circular & FSS Linear satellites for FTA and have a DiSEqC1.2 compatible or USALS compatible FTA Ku band receiver, and live in a fringe area or if you want to get signal from a low powered satellite, then go with Motorized FTA Dish Kit #7.  This package will allow the reception of both linear and circular signals broadcasting from almost any Free To Air FTA satellite.  Click Here Channel List

 

Motorized FTA Dish - Kit #8

Do you get low signal?  Try this Kit.  This is just like the Motorized FTA Dish Kit #4, but includes a 90 centimeter dish instead of a 76 centimeter FTA dish.  If you only want to be able to receive standard Ku band signal from almost any FTA satellite and have a DiSEqC1.2 compatible or USALS compatible FTA receiver, then you need the Motorized FTA Dish Kit #8.  This package allows reception of only FSS linear Ku band satellite signal broadcasting from almost any FTA Ku band satellite.  Click Here for Channel List

FAQ about Motorized Satellite Systems:

 

Do I need to install a separate power line to connect to the HH motor mount?

No.  The motor gets powered by the receiver.  The receiver provides power to turn the LNB on and to switch polarity.  The motor consumes the same power through the coaxial cable that runs from the receiver to the LNBF.  Simply run the coaxial cable to your satellite dish motor, then from the HH dish motor run a 3 or 4 foot coaxial cable to the LNBF. 

 

How do I control the motor to move it East / West?

The motor is controlled by the receiver's remote control.  All receivers compliant with the DiSEqC 1.2, 1.3, or USALS protocol have the capability to run an HH satellite motor.  Once you install and setup the motor to follow the satellite arch properly and store the different satellite positions and locations into the receiver, the receiver will automatically go to the location where the channel is being broadcasted from when you change TV channels on the receiver. 

 

Are all HH motors & receivers USALS, DiSEqC 1.2, & DiSEqC 1.3 compatible?

No.  All satellite motors and HH mounts are DiSEqC1.2 & DiSEqC1.3 compatible, but not all dish motors are USALS compatible.  Motors that are NOT USALS compatible are sometimes more reliable. 

 

Not all satellite C/Ku band receivers are DiSEqC 1.2 and DiSEqC 1.3 compatible.  Some are DiSEqC1.0.  Make sure the receiver you purchase is at least DiSEqC 1.2 compatible. 

 

Can I pick up C band and Ku band?

No.  You need a C band dish (2.4 meters / 6 foot) or larger to be able to pick up C band.  This system is only for Ku band reception. 

 

Does the motor also adjust for variation in elevation on the dish for each and every satellite

Yes.  When you install the motor based on your latitude, the motor will adjust the elevation as well. 

 

Should I skew (rotate) my LNBF to align for polarity?

No.  Just leave the LNB at 0 degrees skew and the motor will tilt the satellite dish to make up for the adjustment of skew. 

 

What is the benefit from motorizing my dish?

Adding a motor to your system allows you to receive satellite channels from multiple satellites & not just one.
